Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 265 The Yellow Springs Stele

"Stop!" Yao Ming stopped all the Nine Netherworld Pythons.

"You are? Clan Chief Yaoming? How is that possible? Didn't you perish from a cultivation deviation?" Some elders had already recognized the gaunt man.

"That's right, it's me!" Yao Ming nodded and took a deep breath. His body was no longer withered, but instead became much taller. His face was somewhat dark, but his eyes were filled with a sinister aura.

"It really is Chief Yaoming! Chief Yaoming, what's going on?" Three elderly men with gray hair asked. They were senior elders of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

"Alas~ I was poisoned and injured by my good brother and the Grand Elder back then, and sealed at the bottom of the Nine Netherworld. If I hadn't been rescued by a benefactor, I would probably have been sealed in the Nine Netherworld for the rest of my life. I originally thought I would break free and cause them trouble, but I ended up like this, which saves me some energy." Yao Ming said calmly.

Xiao Li then looked at Yao Lao and transmitted his voice, "What happened? I couldn't see you just now, why did you bring someone back?"

The old doctor smiled and transmitted his voice, "I've come to the territory of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. Their Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs is very famous, so I went to take a look."

In the Nine Netherworlds, an extremely cold treasure called Yellow Spring Blood Crystal is born. This Yellow Spring Blood Crystal can only take shape at the bottom of the Nine Netherworlds. I know there is a grade nine precious pill called Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill.

Since Xiao Yanzi is going to absorb the strange fire, he is destined to face the top five strange fires in the future. The Pure Lotus Demon Fire is an unclaimed object, so I want to make some preparations in advance.

So I ventured deep into the Nine Netherworlds to search for the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal. Fortunately, I have a strange fire protecting me, otherwise the Nine Netherworlds would have killed me.

"Then what about this Yao Ming? You didn't find him in the Netherworld, did you?" Xiao Li didn't remember the character Yao Ming. He glanced at Yao Ming, who was currently a two-star Dou Sheng and was seriously injured. Xiao Li was confident that he could kill him.

"It is like this, I went deep into the Netherworld and found Yao Ming. Afterwards, Yao Ming told me some of what had happened... I felt it was safer to apply a soul imprint, so I controlled him. His life and death are entirely in my hands!"

According to him, revenge is more important than anything else, and he is even willing to lead the entire Nine Netherworld Python Clan to serve me as their master. Since the Heavenly Mansion Alliance is in need of help, I agreed to release him.

We also fed him some pills to help him recover quickly. Then we heard a lot of noise coming from your place and came to check, only to find you were already done.

Xiao Li nodded: "Oh~ I see. This demon is barely passable. If he knows what's good for him, we can reward him with a ninth-grade precious pill."

"What proof do you have that you are the chief of the Yaoming clan? Are you perhaps an imposter?" an old man asked sternly. This man was a staunch supporter of Yao Xiaotian.

"Heh, proof, please?" Yao Ming suddenly opened his mouth, and a black light flashed out, eventually transforming into a black scepter about half a zhang in size, which appeared in his hand. The scepter was completely black, with two lifelike black venomous snakes coiled around its top. Between the two snakes, there was a black bead the size of a fist, emitting a faint cold light.

Do you recognize this?

The elders were all astonished: "This is the Nine Netherworld Staff! It's been lost for a hundred years! This is the clan leader's token! Clan Leader Yaoming!"

"Clan Chief Yaoming!"

After Yao Ming took out the Nine Netherworld Staff, he successfully subdued everyone. Then he looked at Yao Xiaotian, who had lost his mind and was like a walking corpse, and the Grand Elder.

With bloodshot eyes, Yao Ming transformed into his true form and swallowed both of them whole! This caused a stir of discomfort among those present.

. . . . .

"Thank you so much, Master Yao." Yao Ming approached Yao Chen and cupped his hands in greeting.

"And these two gentlemen, I am deeply grateful for your help in eliminating the traitors!" Yao Ming bowed to Xiao Li and Zi Yan.

Xiao Li smiled faintly, "Clan Chief Yaoming, I wonder if we'll get any benefits for helping you resolve the rebellion?"

Yao Ming was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course there is. Even if you hadn't said anything, Yao Ming would have done it anyway. In any case, I must give some form of reward. I think you might be interested in the reward I'm talking about..."

Xiao Li shook his head: "That's not urgent. Chief Yaoming, how are your clan's medicinal herb reserves?"

"This?" Yao Ming was taken aback and then looked at the elders.

"Lord Qi, our clan still has some medicinal herbs in reserve, but these have been accumulated over many years, we cannot..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I'll just say one thing: Elder Yao and I are masters of refining ninth-grade precious pills. We'd like to borrow some medicinal herbs from your clan to refine ninth-grade precious pills. If we're satisfied, we can give you the pills ourselves. So you..."

'

The elders knelt down abruptly: "Your Excellency is right. We were out of touch with reality! Send the medicinal herbs immediately! Nether Serpent Guards, follow me!"

Several elders, accompanied by the Nether Serpent Guards, left in a grand procession to fetch medicinal herbs.

Yao Ming's lips twitched. However, these two were still ninth-grade pill refining masters, so he had to curry favor with them. Although he had made progress while imprisoned in the Nine Netherworld, he had still wasted too much time!

With Yao Ming's talent, it would be no problem for him to reach the late stage of a three-star Dou Sheng after a hundred years of normal cultivation. He is only at the late stage of a two-star Dou Sheng now.

"By the way, the three of you, we were just interrupted by this lord. There are other opportunities near the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs. You two are alchemists, so your soul power must be extremely strong, right? You two are sure you can seize this opportunity." Yao Ming suddenly thought of something and immediately spoke up.

He desperately wants to make a name for himself and earn a ninth-grade precious pill; he's eager to advance!

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

Yao Ming smiled slightly: "Have you all heard of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint?"

Old Master Yao was taken aback: "Could it be that Yellow Spring Great Sage from ancient times, who had one foot in the Dou Di realm?"

"Exactly!"

Xiao Li suddenly understood. The Yellow Spring Demon Saint was a name that had been heard of for a long time. He was an existence on par with the Pure Lotus Demon Saint and the Heavenly Crippled Sword Saint, and was hailed as one of the strongest people below the Dou Di level.

Xiao Li's ancestor, Xiao Xuan, was also at this level. Perhaps Xiao Xuan was slightly stronger, since he had reached the pseudo-Dou Di realm and was just one trace of Origin Qi away.

The old apothecary narrowed his eyes slightly: "How is this Yellow Spring Demon Saint related to your Nine Netherworld Python?"

"Hehe, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint is naturally not a member of my clan, but he has a considerable connection with my clan. When this peerless powerhouse fell, the legacy he left behind had long since dissipated over the years."

Within my Nine Netherworld Python Clan, there exists a Yellow Springs Stone Tablet, passed down from ancient times. Within this tablet are recorded the lifelong learning of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint; it is even said that deep within the tablet, the essence and blood of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint remain.

Yao Ming explained that this was his real purpose.

"Oh? The essence blood of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, that's a good thing, but why don't you go and get it yourself? Why tell us instead? Aren't you afraid we'll keep it all for ourselves?" Xiao Li smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on Yao Ming.

Yao Ming gave an awkward smile: "It's not that I don't want it, but I've tried many times and failed to obtain the essence blood of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint. I suppose it's not meant for me. So I'll just offer it to him instead."

Xiao Li nodded: "I see. You must be eyeing our Grade Nine Treasure Pill, right? Hehe, alright, take us to that Yellow Springs Stele. If we find something of value, I might reward you with a Grade Nine Treasure Pill!"
